This is a one time version of my very popular ongoing acting club. We will cover three different subjects: Visualisation, Improvisation and Emotions. Everything will be done in a fun, playful and relaxed classroom setting. This will be a place for learners to come, learn some new acting skills, have fun and make some new friends. All levels and experience are welcome. All you will need is your imagination! The class structure will be like this: 3 min - Greetings and chit chat 5 min - Warm up for body, voice and imagination. 5 mins – Visualisation – we use our imaginations to go on a journey together! 5 mins – Improvisation - A simple exercise called ‘Become!’ 2 mins - Wiggle Break! A quick game of Simon Says to break up the lesson. 7 mins – Finally we will practice using different emotions using a game I call ‘Emotions Walk’ 3 mins - Goodbyes and chit chat. :) Parents and caregivers: Please ensure your learner has enough space to freely move around. Their arms should not touch anything when stretched out. All movement can be done in one spot. ****Most importantly we will have fun!****
Learning Goals
Learners will gain confidence, learn new skills and become better performers. Drama also helps with English and creative writing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello. My name is Samantha and I love teaching! I have 5 years teaching experience and now 9 months teaching online experience. I have taught performing arts at two different schools and also worked for 1 year as a children's entertainer at a summer holiday camp.
My main passion in life is performing arts of all kinds! I have a BA in Theatre and it is what I have always loved to do. I have worked as an actress/dancer on the South Coast of England and in London for over 15 years. My main acting niche is contemporary theatre, musical theatre, pantomime and cabaret. I have worked in other areas in my adult life including customer service and banking. However, performing and being creative through movement is at the heart of everything I do. This includes my online ESL classroom where I enjoy a fun, playful and active learning style. My students seem to engage with me because I am having fun and they want to be a part of that too! I have the most experience teaching ages 3-12 but more recently I have really enjoyed connecting with teens and young adults to try to inspire them (to be honest, they really do inspire me!)
I will be teaching performance and acting classes. I enjoy pantomime and cabaret so much so would love to offer some fun classes where learners can get involved and feel like we are all in a performance together! I enjoy storytelling so I am also offering some fun read along classes where learners can use their reading skills and imaginations.
My other main hobby is gaming! I have been a gamer since I was 5 years old and still game everyday now. I have a Playstation, Nintendo Switch and a gaming PC. I fully believe that a healthy amount of gaming can really improve problem solving skills.
